Right ond time, one year after starting this thread, I am back again with an update. Man, this was a busy year - some of you followed H E R E and have seen growing the collection. But here comes the pens!

So let's see what happens this year!

Wow, what a beautiful collection. I am just going to print it out and use it for a shopping list at the LA Pen Show.

"One can not waste time worrying about small minds . . . If we were normal, we'd still be using free ball point pens." —Bo Bo OlsonI'm still trying to figure out how to list all my pens down here.

5. Montblanc 144 Godron or pinstripe sterling silver barrel and cap, gold coloured trim. Bought from a pen show from a top bloke (Fountainbel). Comes with a wonderful OBB nib.

6. MB Cervantes. Comes with a M nib. I have a few WE's, this one narrowly beat the Schiller and the Verne (if I owned a Hemmingway that would have been in here..)

7. Pelikan M101n Lizard - the modern version. Lovely looking pen and a great size. Broad stubby nib that wrote perfectly straight out of the box.

8. Cross Townsend in Jade with a medium nib. Townsends are very under rated. I have the Jade and the Lapis, as well as a glossy black and a sterling silver version. The colour on the jade and symbol on the cap got this in here even though it doesnt have my favourite nib of the 4.

9. Nakaya. I cannot remember the model - Decapod I think, about the size of a 146. Dark red Urushi beginning to see a bit of green showing through. Has a wonderful broad Italic nib prepared by John Mottishaw at nibs.com.

10. Last but by no means least, a CS Winston in Black with an italic medium nib. Love this pen. Great size/weight and line variation on the nib.
